I N the third and longest part of this book, Mr. Scott-James estimates the work of some of the more prominent modern authors. But he presents these criticisms as the sequel to a general consideration of what it is that readers at all times look for in the best literature, and secondly, what are the special conditions of modern life that are having their effect upon men of letters.

Walter Pater
A Critical Study
By EDWARD THOMAS
T HIS is a combined character study and criticism. The man’s life is used to elucidate his books, which in turn contribute many unquestionable touches of character. All his published books and scattered essays are considered from a practical and æsthetic standpoint. His fundamental ideas and tendencies, his purpose and effect, his style and his theory of style, are examined in a book for which there should be a distinct demand.
